A Special Canvas-final draft

During the Thanksgiving break, I went to The Museum of Modern Art.

Among all of the fantastic modern art works, I found a special painting at a corner near the Impressionism part. A huge canvas was hung from bottom to the top of the wall. Numerous brown horizontal lines were painted as a piece of thick brown blind warded in front of the art work. Through the gaps between those horizontal lines of the blind, a part of New York was exhibited in front of me. The left part of it were many classical buildings with the typical New York style. Some of them were short and old fashioned departments, and others were the modern offices. Posters, advertisements, and hundreds of dark green glasses that reflected the shining light. Different colours of traffic lights looked like some tiny dots that were produced by an skillful oil painter. The painter hold his wild brush, and swung it in front of the canvas. Those colourful dots were complicated, but also kept in some special orders at the same time because of those city designers. Apparently, the painting of NYC could never be a still life. It was full of movements. Everyone knows the yellow cabs’ position in New York. At the bottom of this painting, many yellow rectangles rushed on the grey street. Pedestrians come and go; they twisted their ways though the cabs, and each of them made the painting even more energetic.

At the right part, a white modern building captured my eyes with fantastic decoration. It had little wall, and most part of that side was glass. Therefore, everything in the building can be seen by its audiences. It was an office building that had a very modern style. Furnitures were mostly white with a little red, beige, and green. The first floor had a huge sofa in the middle. Some greens were put around the sofa. Desks were the protagonists in the second floor; it seemed like a meeting room. Hundreds of files were collected together in different shapes of boxes. The third floor was more like their dining hall with red food bars and white chairs. Each floor had different arrangement, but they all took simplicity to extreme. This building can be regard as the counterpart of many New Yorkers’ lives.

Buildings, streets, and decorations. The amazing painting mixed three elements harmoniously.People usually exclaimed about the painter’s wonderful skill. However, you would not believe this painting was just a normal glass in MOMA. All of the objects and colours were actually the real face of New York. From all of the masterpieces in the art museum, people can hardly notice a common glass. Nonetheless, once you stop for it, you would finally explore the meaning of this accidental art as I did.

Art is from life, and this special art work made me realise the different two sides of art. Our cities were built by hundreds of talented designers who were graduated from the professional design school. However, sometimes the quintessences of art may be actually excavated from the cities that we live in. Art can be everywhere, and this is a circulation of the endless inspiration.
